World Cancer Day: Help us shine a light on blood cancer
This Saturday 4th Feb is #WorldCancerDay and we want you to help us shine a light on blood cancer. Why? Because despite being the fifth most common cancer, over 50% of UK adults can’t name a single symptom. Here's how you can get involved...
As you can see, too many people just don't know the facts about blood cancer. In fact, many people diagnosed with blood cancer don't even realise that they have a type of cancer. Please watch our video and share it on your social media channels.
2. Tell people these THREE key facts! 👇
Here are three key things we think people need to know:
- Blood cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the UK.
- Because blood cancer doesn’t have the same profile as the other five most common cancers, people are less likely to be diagnosed quickly.
- Leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma are ALL types of blood cancer.
3. Check out Jake's Instagram takeover
Our Ambassador Jake Moules is sharing his story with his favourite celebrity, Jessica Barden, star of The End of the F***ing World – check out her Instagram on World Cancer Day to help Jake spread the word.
Hearing the real words of people affected by blood cancer is the best way we can spread our message. If you have a link to blood cancer, tell people what it is and why it's important to you – doing so will raise awareness and ultimately help save lives!
